What is AIFF?
Audio Interchange File Format (AIFF) is an audio file format standard used for
storing sound data for personal computers and other electronic audio devices.
The format was co-developed by Apple Computer in 1988 based on Electronic Arts'
Interchange File Format (IFF, widely used on Amiga systems) and is most commonly
used on Apple Macintosh computer systems. AIFF is also used by Silicon Graphics
Incorporated. The audio data in a standard AIFF file is uncompressed big-endian
pulse-code modulation (PCM). There is also a compressed variant of AIFF known
as AIFF-C or AIFC, with various defined compression codecs.
Standard AIFF is a leading format (along with SDII and WAV) used by professional-level
audio and video applications, and unlike the better-known lossy MP3 format, it
is non-compressed (which aids rapid streaming of multiple audio files from disk
to the application), and lossless. Like any non-compressed, lossless format, it
uses much more disk space than MP3¡ªabout 10MB for one minute of stereo
audio at a sample rate of 44.1 kHz and a sample size of 16 bits. In addition to
audio data, AIFF can include loop point data and the musical note of a sample,
for use by hardware samplers and musical applications.
The file extension for the standard AIFF format is .aiff or .aif. For the compressed
variants it is supposed to be .aifc, but .aiff or .aif are accepted as well by
audio applications supporting the format.
What is AAC?
Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) is a standardized, lossy compression and encoding
scheme for digital audio. Designed to be the successor of the MP3 format, AAC
generally achieves better sound quality than MP3 at many bit rates.
AAC has been standardized by ISO and IEC, as part of the MPEG-2 & MPEG-4
specifications. The MPEG-2 standard contains several audio coding methods, including
the MP3 coding scheme. AAC is able to include 48 full-bandwidth (up to 96 kHz)
audio channels in one stream plus 15 low frequency enhancement (LFE, limited to
120 Hz) channels and up to 15 data streams. AAC is able to achieve indistinguishable
audio quality at data rates of 320 kbit/s (64kbit/s/channel) for five channels.
The quality is close to CD also at 96 kbit/s (48kbit/s/channel) for stereo.
AAC's best known use is as the default audio format of Apple's iPhone, iPod,
iTunes, and the format used for all iTunes Store audio (with extensions for proprietary
digital rights management).
AAC is also the standard audio format for Sony's PlayStation 3 and is supported
by Sony's Playstation Portable, latest generation of Sony Walkman, Sony Ericsson
Walkman Phone, Nintendo's Wii (with the Photo Channel 1.1 update installed for
Wii consoles purchased before late 2007) and the MPEG-4 video standard. HE-AAC
is part of digital radio standards like DAB+ and Digital Radio Mondiale.
